Chapter 1959: Unable to Keep a Clear Mind
Jiang Motian revealed the truth.
And this truth made Wei Yangyang's heart suddenly beat very fast, and her gaze became somewhat dazed.
On her side, Jiang Motian continued to reminisce: "My brother was truly worried about you. Knowing you were in danger, his eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone. At that time, he was completely sparing no cost to ensure your..."
Her words were not yet finished.
Wei Yangyang, however, stood up with a "whoosh."
This sudden movement forced Jiang Motian to stop and look up, asking in confusion: "Yangyang, what's wrong with you?"
"I, I'm a bit tired, I'm heading back first."
Wei Yangyang left as soon as she said it, before Jiang Motian could even react.
After a moment, she withdrew her gaze and stared at Li Xingyan with a look of regret, muttering softly: "Why did she leave as soon as it got emotional? Could it be that she's shy?"
Jiang Motian's guess was only half right.
Wei Yangyang was indeed shy.
But at the same time, she was also somewhat uneasy.
She felt her heartbeat becoming very fast, and it was out of her control.
Her intuition also told her to stay away from Li Xingyan.
But her staying away had an expiration date.
The next day, Wei Mama personally brought Wei Yangyang to the hospital room.
In Wei Mama's view, this was a very rare opportunity to cultivate feelings.
How could she miss it?
To prevent her daughter from slipping away, Wei Mama didn't even leave after arriving, staying in the hospital room with Wei Yangyang.
If it were any other day, it wouldn't matter if her mother stayed.
But it wouldn't do now; what if her mother heard Li Xingyan call her name again?
Her mother was already prone to wild imagination, and if she heard that...
Wouldn't that just be handing her mother more material?!
Wei Yangyang didn't want to look for trouble.
So... she had to find a reason to make her mother leave!
Wei Yangyang thought for a moment, and a plan came to mind: "Mom, there's a caregiver here anyway, let's go back."
Upon hearing this, Wei Mama rejected it: "No, he is your savior after all; you must take care of him personally to show your gratitude."
"I can show gratitude in other ways, but... I can't stay to take care of him."
"Why?"
Wei Yangyang felt a bit embarrassed.
After hesitating for a moment, she said: "Well, men and women should keep their distance. Taking care of him means wiping his face, hands, and body—I'm shy!"
To demonstrate authenticity, Wei Yangyang lowered her head and acted coy.
Wei Mama was stunned.
She looked at Wei Yangyang, then looked behind her.
Then she offered a suggestion: "Xingyan is unconscious anyway, just pretend nothing happened."
"But I'll remember it."
"If you have no distracting thoughts, you can pretend you didn't see anything even if you did."
"With such a good physique... how can one have no distracting thoughts!"
Wei Yangyang's words were seven parts true and three parts false.
But to Wei Mama's ears, it turned into ten parts of pleasant surprise.
She said: "If you can have distracting thoughts, it means you like him!"
"This... has nothing to do with liking him, it's just that everyone loves beauty! Besides, he saved me, yet I'm all over him... it's really not right, so let's just visit and then leave!"
Wei Mama had no intention of leaving.
She even smiled and said: "You should discuss it with Xingyan; perhaps he wouldn't mind you being all over him."
"How can I discuss this, he's still uncons..."
While speaking, Wei Yangyang turned her head without thinking.
And it was this turn that made her discover that Li Xingyan, who had been closing his eyes, had opened them at this moment.
He was looking at Wei Yangyang tenderly.
But Wei Yangyang's scalp felt like it was exploding!
She swallowed uneasily, then asked: "You... when did you wake up?"
"When you were praising my good physique."
Oh my god!
Wei Yangyang truly felt she had no face left to see anyone!
She wanted to bolt out the door!
Unfortunately, Wei Mama was guarding the entrance.
She even said, enjoying the spectacle: "Daughter, Xingyan is awake, hurry up and ask him!"
Wei Yangyang hurriedly gestured to her mother, telling her not to bring it up.
But she stopped her mother, yet she didn't stop Li Xingyan.
Only to hear Li Xingyan say in a calm tone: "I don't object."
"But I object! Hey, now is not the time to talk about this. Li Xingyan, you just woke up, you must be very weak, continue resting, we're leaving!"
After speaking, Wei Yangyang lowered her head and tried to pull Wei Mama away with her.
However, Wei Mama pushed Wei Yangyang's hand away and said very firmly, "You stay here."
"Mama..."
"Jokes are jokes, but you cannot avoid taking care of the patient. Alright, you two chat slowly, I'm leaving first."
Wei Yangyang moved her feet, intending to follow and leave as well.
But Wei Mama shot her a glare, and Wei Yangyang had no choice but to stand in place, looking aggrieved.
In the end, she watched helplessly as Wei Mama left.
The moment the hospital room door closed, the room became extremely quiet.
This silence made Wei Yangyang feel very uneasy.
Her fair hands were tightly clasped together in a flustered manner.
Wei Yangyang hesitated for a moment, then finally, she bit the bullet and turned around.
She didn't dare look at Li Xingyan, but instead lowered her eyes and explained quickly, "Don't take what I just said to heart; it was all fake, just to get my mom to go back sooner!"
"Fake?"
"Mm!"
"Then is my physique not good?"
This...
Wei Yangyang hadn't expected Li Xingyan's focus to be on this, and she was stunned.
After two or three seconds, she replied based on instinct: "It's good."
"So what you said wasn't entirely fake."
Li Xingyan's tone was very calm.
But Wei Yangyang could not calm down.
She wasn't quite sure if Li Xingyan was being sarcastic.
Before she could figure it out, Li Xingyan changed the subject: "It looks like you have recovered very well."
Wei Yangyang did not respond immediately, but raised her eyes and glanced at him.
Li Xingyan's expression was normal, and his gaze was soft.
So, were they just chatting casually?
Wei Yangyang was a bit skeptical.
But at this moment, she could only follow Li Xingyan's topic and chat for now: "Yes, my ankle doesn't hurt anymore."
"But I still feel weak all over, and my chest hurts a little."
"What about the old injury on your arm?"
"It's numb; I can't feel any pain."
Li Xingyan's words made Wei Yangyang involuntarily show a look of heartache.
It wasn't a pretense, but truly a bit of... heartache.
"I'm thirsty."
Wei Yangyang was just wondering how to alleviate this heartache when she heard this, and she immediately poured a glass of water for Li Xingyan.
Li Xingyan had no strength in his body.
So Wei Yangyang bent over and helped Li Xingyan sit up.
Being this close, Wei Yangyang discovered that Li Xingyan still had a bit of a fever.
But it was already much better than his condition in the heavy rain.
Thinking of that heavy rain, the scene of the two of them struggling to climb up...
Wei Yangyang couldn't help but sigh: "At the time, I really thought I wouldn't be able to leave that place."
"Dummy, didn't I tell you that it would definitely be fine."
Although Li Xingyan called Wei Yangyang a "dummy," there was no hint of mockery in his words.
Wei Yangyang couldn't help but study Li Xingyan.
